Did you list the street address where your exhibit is held (we may have your mail address, but not that of your museum)? Did you tell us both the opening and closing dates of the exhibit?  We need full information to post your exhibit on the calendar. (No closing date means we can't post it!)

Direct from the Editor: The Calendar editor - with great regret - throws away several announcements of coming events each month. Either the information arrived too late, the phone number exchange is missing, the street address is not given, or the organization is NOT A MEMBER of CCHS. Please check your newsletters for completeness of information, and pay your dues!
